The Horror of Frankenstein (1970)

The Horror of Frankenstein (1970)
Rating: ★
Mar 16, 2001Hammer Frankenstein/Comedy
The fifth and worst of Hammer's Frankenstein films. In a play for younger audiences, Peter Cushing was dumped in favour of Ralph Bates in a retelling of the original but the result fails in an unfunny comedic approach

Rating: ★★★½
Dec 1, 2014Hammer Frankenstein Film
Hammer's seventh and final Frankenstein film and the last great film that the studio would make. Everyone is back on top form – Peter Cushing at his icily arrogant best and director Terence Fisher delivering a stirring show

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Rating: ★★★★★
Apr 4, 2001Space Opera
George Lucas’s first sequel to Star Wars and a work that holds up every bit as well as its predecessor, in many places betters it. The story darkens the mythos and introduces new characters, while the special effects sequences are the peak of the series

Rating: ★★
Mar 21, 2001Space Opera
A disappointing end to George Lucas’s original Star Wars trilogy. The script lazily wraps up loose ends while sidelining the new characters introduced the last time, and the climax rehashes the climaxes of the two other films

Sep 5, 2016Documentary About the Extras and Bit Players in Star Wars
A unique Making Of documentary devoted to the extras and bit players who appeared in Star Wars. Gently affectionate, it tells the story of people who have never gone on to do anything else notable and how being part of such a cultural landmark impacted their lives
